Hi there, folks, just another mini-blog post for you guys. Just a little gentle update for the uninitiated, Takara Tomy has launched a campaign to commemorate the year 2010, with a series of special edition toys. The latest God Primus 2010 Edition ; to match and counter the evil Unicron.
Although the special edition Primus is a just a mere repaint of the already released Cybertron/Galaxy Force Primus, it is still a very beautiful and eye catching piece, as per the official shots just released. and will be exclusive to Japan Toyhobby Market The pre-order is starting from 24th June till 1st August 2010. The toy is expected to be delivered at the end of October 2010.
PRIMUS IS CYBERTRON'S MANIFESTATION?!
"Primus is the creator-god of the Transformers. An ancient and ethereal being whose origins date back to the beginnings of the universe itself, Primus is a cosmos, space and universal force for good, his life force existing across multiple realities and infinite alternate universes. In each one, he is the final defense against his fallen sibling, Unicron the Chaos-Bringer.
Primus has adapted his body as the metallic planet Cybertron; from its surface, his creations have risen to defend and patrol the galaxy. Within the depths of Cybertron, the mega-computer Vector Sigma serves as his internal mainframe, and a gateway for select Transformers to access his power. A portion of his lifeforce resides within the Matrix, which often determines the leader of the Autobots. Prophecies of a war to come were written down in his holy covenant as well. The spark of each Transformer is a small piece of Primus's essence, and together they form his lifeforce, the Allspark."

FINAL VERDICT:-
ITS GOING TO BE ANOTHER MUST BUY FOR ME, AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE ORIGINAL COLORED PRIMUS TOY, SHOWN ABOVE, THIS IS ONE INSTANCE THAT A VERY SHINY REPAINT WOULD BE ADDED ON NY COLLECTION LIST. RIGHT NOW, THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED CAN PRE-ORDER THIS BEAUTIFUL PRIMUS TOY FOR AROUND USD$ 90 (NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING); FORM THE ONLINE TOYS RETAILER WWW.ROBOTKINGDOM.COM.
IMHO, THE BOX-ART FOR THIS PRIMUS RELEASE IS SHARP, BEAUTIFUL AND DARING-- CONTRASTING THE YIN AND YANG OF TWO TRANSFORMERS MYTHOLOGICAL AND POWERFUL BEINGS. I LOVE THE COLOR BLUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE WHOLE DESIGN OF THE PRIMUS CHARACTER & TOY. ITS POWERFUL. PRE-ORDER IS RATHER LIMITED, SO I HIGHT SUGGEST THAT THOSE FANS WHO ARE KEEN ON SUCH JAPAN ONLY MERCHANDISING MUST HURRY UP AND GRAB THIS ASAP!
